Without A Country

This week on WITHOUT A COUNTRY, comedian and political commentator Corinne Fisher breaks down the biggest political headlines following the 2026 midterm elections, including Donald Trump naming Stephen Miller his new White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles' departure, the future of Trump's immigration crackdown, and whether Stephen Miller somehow predicted his own political rise. Corinne dives into Washington, D.C.'s controversial foie gras ban before exploring the disturbing history of Gill Sans font creator Eric Gill. International headlines include a Kenyan doomsday cult leader sentenced to 200 years in prison and a series of bomb threats targeting Irish media outlets. Back in the United States, Corinne reacts to Russell Brand's sentencing, the Justice Department's renewed criminal investigation into who leaked the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade to Politico, and the push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Plus, California Governor Gavin Newsom's decision to commute all of California's death sentences, Nithya Raman's victory in the Los Angeles mayoral election, a controversial Philadelphia boycott targeting Jewish restaurants, and Cornell University's faculty vote of no confidence.

The 2026 midterm election results are in, and Donald Trump and the Republican Party have a lot to answer for! On this episode of Without a Country, comedian and political commentator Corinne Fisher breaks down the Democrats' historic victories, the biggest election upsets, groundbreaking wins for women and minority candidates, and what the new balance of power in Congress means for Trump and the 2028 presidential election. From Abdul El-Sayed's historic Senate victory and Georgia's election of its first Black female governor to James Talarico's Texas win, Corinne examines what Democrats got right, where Republicans went wrong, and why voters must continue holding their elected officials accountable. Plus, the controversy surrounding Gays for Trump co-founder Scott Presler, Cornell University's new SA investigation policies, the ongoing fight to pass New York's A101 legislation, a dangerous new MTA emergency exit policy, Elon Musk's reaction to the election, Olivia Rodrigo's political involvement, and a disturbing story about Afghan immigrants facing deportation under the Trump administration. Democrats may have reason to celebrate, but the work of protecting democracy and fighting for everyday Americans is far from over.NEW YORK CITY!
